Even if the buy it now price is high, I don't understand people picking on an auction that has a high buy-it-now price, but is also just a regular format auction, meaning it could and probably will sell for a lot less. As soon as someone bids up to the reserve price, the buy-it-now option goes away.

No actually I was looking for this & the Bruticus Maximus auction and just because these are the only auctions for these two characters at the moment this tool jacks the price up...I've seen loose versions of these go for cheaper than this but this is taking advantage of his being the only one on E-Bay at the time.

Except the "tool" DIDN'T jack the price up - it's got a regular auction going on with an unknown reserve. His BIN isn't that insane, if you don't want to pay that much, that's fine, but he's not a tool for it.

EDIT: I guess some people want to spend $$$ when they don't have to...

I had a Superion Maximus up for sale in the Junkon (now it's bumped down to "should I sell it or not?") for $45 OBO. It was up for at least a week with no more than half-assed offers coming in. Am I a tool for asking what I've seen it go for? No.

What, do you expect him to GIVE it away?

That'd be the typical fandom attitude, based on most of the Junkion offers I get. (Yesterday I was offered $75 shipped for Superion Maximus, Armada Tidal Wave, Armada Hot Shot, Armada Race Minicons, and Cyb Supreme Starscream. I don't think I can even ship those for $75)

Now see that's for multiple figures that's understandable not for one..

Not really. I feel my asking prices for those items were pretty fair, and by my calculations, I get $95 before shipping. It was going to California (cross country for me, meaning jacked up shipping...) so by my calculations, that's another $20 for shipping (probably more, because I don't have a box that big AND I'm only approximating), making it a grand total of $115, and that's with the bare minimums I'd ask for those items. And I'd ask the buyer to pay Paypal fees, as well... That's another $5 once it's all said and done. $120 - $75 = $45. There's a difference between haggling and lowballing. That was lowballing.

Yes but you wanting more money for more figures DOES make sense I wouldn't give these away either..Listen people can do whatever they want with their stuff the only reason why people like this bug me is that they don't wanted to start out low they really jack up the price which tells them they don't know how much something's are worth.
